   It matters some. I don’t want to date an unemployed high school drop out who lives with his mother and is in debt up to his ears.

   Profession: doesn’t matter (as long as it’s legal)
   Living situation: prefer alone, roommate is acceptable…with parents, not kewl (but then I date guys mid 30s through 40s)
   Bank account: Needs to make a decent living so he’s not living hand to mouth. I want to be with someone who can go out and do fun things, and travel on occasion…even if we have to go Dutch. I don’t want to sit at home all the time or not go out because he can’t afford it, and I make enough to pay my own way, but not to support someone else as well.
   Education: I prefer someone with a college education or at least some college. It’s not absolutely mandatory but a plus. I’ve got an Associates and a Bachelor’s degree myself.
   There are considerations beyond nice personality and physical appeal, sure. That’s just reality. I would expect guys would have some basic criteria or at least preferences in this area as well.

   Being a girl its important and nice to know that a guy can take care of you but money isnt what what makes most girl choose who they want to date (unless they are gold diggers lol) living situation and not important unless the girl is going to be living with you and its gross or too small. Bank account balance doesnt matter to me either. Education is important. If the guy doesnt have at least a high school education then im pretty turned off.

   That all depends on how shady that person is. But it does say alot about someone if they are 25 and still working at mcdonalds. if you’re not dedicated in life why would you be very dedicated in a relationship. and same thing goes for being lazy and everything. But if someone really is doing the best they can to take care of themselves and better themselves then what does it matter if they have a lot of money. A hard worker will get what they deserve in the end and so will a loser.

   It matters a ton! I would never date someone who wasn’t a hard worker and who wasn’t careful with spending. But beyond good work ethics and financial wisdom, how rich someone is doesn’t matter to me at all! We all start from different places and we all have pitfalls in life. As long as someone isn’t lazy and gets fired from all of their jobs – that is all that I am concerned with as far as status goes.

   In this economic environment? Are you kidding me? If that is a priority you are going to be a very lonely person. It’s ugly out there right now. Over 10% unemployed and 20% underemployed and this number WILL get worse in the coming years. People are losing their homes and moving back in with family. My neighbor’s kid was making $60k at age 26 and he was doing fantastic. Then the company he worked for went bankrupt and lost his house. He’s now 28, broke, and back in living with his folks. Now he’s thinking about going back to school because he can’t find work. This is a very common story these days.
   Not a good time to be a gold digger.

   Just taking a look at some of the answers here makes me not want to ever get married.
   Pretty shallow if this is at the top of the list. Whatever happend to personality, the person, the soulmate? Love?
   LOL! And we wonder why the divorce rate is 60%?
   Money is an evil. If you let it control your life you will always be unhappy. There are things that are more important in this world.
